That's in case they could get a dual-licensed version of that code. Most times there is so many people involved in a project it's impossible to get everybody to agree on another license, much less on selling that code.
As far as I know you can do literally anything with BSD licensed code with the possible exception of removing copyright notices.
It may not be the polite thing to do, but I think it is legal.
How does the GPL help when you need money? It does NOT help!
Vendors who extend the code and sell it along with their products will have to either release their modifications or pay $$$ for an LGPL or BSD licensed version.
Depends on how old you are. I am 40, most of the men in my family die between 60 and 70. Twenty years is not long at all in medical science. And you still need to allocate 10 or 20 years to bring a product to market.
When I graduated some friends of mine went into medical science, and I went into aerospace. 15 years later they are restarting their careers outside their original field.
The big difference is pay: people working in research get paid less, consequently science attracts less capable people. Low retention rates mean that it is difficult to carry long term projects through. Medical science is letting us down. There won't be miracle cures from that direction.
I would because it is the only realistic way that my mind can survive longer than my body. I don't think it has to be as bad as the picture you paint. Many people use limited neural implants now: cochlear implants. Even today we have people who spend too much time with technology at the expense of their health. Regardless of the type of interface in use I believe we will remain essentially the same.
My temporal lobe has about %15 more activity than a normal persons lobe Whatever that means ???? Is it a temporal anomoly ?
I don't know, I have never seen it expressed that way. I have seen EEG's (including my own).
I believe that personality, behavior and memory are all the same things in the brain: connections between neurons. Its not a computer with separate logic and storage.
If your temporal lobe is behaving strangely then this may be reflected in different ways.
I took medication for my seizure disorder for six years. That kept the problem under control. But at the end of the day I avoid the states which cause problems for me. Its learning, which is reflected in turn in the pattern of connections in my brain.
Don't nuerons use neurotransmitters to bridge the synapses? How is this able to send signals to hard silicons? Were the silicons created with proper receptors?
Membrane potentials (literally voltages measurable from one side of a membrane to another) can tell you what is going on in a neuron. In fact there are so many electrical signals inside a brain that a simple device like an EEG can tell you quite a bit about what is going on.
The way we are going humans will be landing on asteroids long before we have a go at flying a mission to mars. The reason is that it is just too hard to reliably launch from mars with hardware and consumables you have shipped from Earth.
Yes, I know you can use ISRU but the whole thing is so dogy with forseeable technology. So my bet is with a landing on a smaller near Earth asteroid, followed by expeditions to the main belt. Recent missions like NEAR have paved the way and I hope DAWN continues the effort.
This is where our near future in manned spaceflight really is. We should find out more about these places.
Seriously. Exclude the current TLDs, but auction off all of the rest of them. Someone out there would own.a through.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, etc, etc, etc. There's old auction methods for dividing up continuous goods.
The load on the root servers would be intolerable. Currently they only need to store IIRC 300 TLD's. I don't know the real number but it must be les than 10000.
Your idea would put all the names in one big database. It can't be made to scale that way.
Because as everybody knows, the naming of hosts on the network has to be ratified if all the worlds governments. Never mind the DNS apparantly worked ok for over a decade without any world governments knowing the network even existed.
has unlimited power as long as he [...] has a strongly aligned partisan majority in both houses of congress.
This is the key, isn't it. More often than not here in Australia voters have voted the opposite way in the lower and upper house. The result is that the Government has to negotiate with a hostile Senate.
We are in truoble now because the minority party which used to oppose the government in the senate had a self destruct switch and the PM found how to trigger it, but I expect we will return to normality in a decade or so.
So my question is this: why did US voters trust GWB to the extent that they also voted Republican in the upper house?
At the moment a lot of company knowledge is held on spreadsheets and Powerpoint slides, because companies need to see summaries. But the data has lost its semantics, so it's not usable.
One thing I have noticed is the maturity -> longevity effect for computer hardware and software. Years ago, the rapid pace of hardware development and the commensurate evolution of end-user software meant that a three-year-old box was not just NOMINALLY obsolete, it was obsolete IN FACT. New hardware peripherals and (above all) new applications could effectively not be used on systems just a couple of years old.
Yep, processor speed isn't increasing as fast as before, so people have less reason to upgrade. Also general users who do office and internet stuff will find a 1GHz machine just as good as a 3GHz machine.
It came as a surprise then, when I needed to grab a router right that moment and so went in, to find internal stock lists and part numbers getting checked using OpenOffice spreadsheets. Interested, I had a word with the guy doing the check and he said OpenOffice was used throughout the store.
Jaycar use linux to access their stock control system at the point of sale. Strange that their website uses ASP, though.
CPM 2.2 had shell scripts of a sort, I used them a lot in the old days.
The C compiler I used (HI-TECH C) was invoked as a script. You could watch it run executables for the precompiler, code generator and assembler. It was the best education I got in compiler design, that one.

This approach seems to work for MySQL.
If OpenBSD find a bug in OpenSSH they will surely post a notice and release a fix. I don't see how they can keep the information from sun.
I understand that Theo is still Theo, and that they should get some help from Sun, but I don't think his approach is very realistic.

We can simulate the weather knowing only simple gas laws.
You have a pretty good posting history for a flatline.
Then you would have The Terminal Man.

And yet the documents are being released to the public? Why can't the translators be employed by a contractor or a low security department?
Designer Mice Made to Order is about genetically engineered mice, not computer input devices.

If you can't enforce filtering tags how can you enforce .xxx?
Computing power keeps getting cheaper. Perhaps this will be practical.
does not use your ISP's DNS server. It does its own DNS resolution. Its too expensive to block the Tomahawk DesktopThe ISP could use a port block to redirect DNS queries to their DNS. Much the same way HTTP proxies are enforced.
Maybe we need alternate roots after all.

The NT kernel may have been written by one or two people who had been working on OpenVMS. This does not make it "based on VMS".
Tell me about it.
